HEARTs OF GOLD CLUB
ABOUT HEARTS OF GOLD
For businesses that want to give back.
Launched in 2023 by HeartBrothers Patient Board of Advisors member Tommy Hardiman, the HeartBrothers Foundation's Hearts of Gold Club invites exceptional businesses to financially support New England heart failure patients and their families.
​
To date, Hearts of Gold has raised more than $50,000.
WHY JOIN HEARTS OF GOLD
Did you know the average heart transplant costs $1.4 million? Yet, the average annual income for a heart failure (HF) patient is just $50,000.
​
Through our Patient & Family Education & Support Programs, the HeartBrothers Foundation (HBF) provides financial assistance, emotional support, and education to families struggling with HF. Every day, patients and families inundate HBF with requests for financial assistance. The pandemic has made their situations even more precarious, as HF patients are highly vulnerable to infection and face increased financial strain.
​
HBF fills this critical gap by offering support packages for lodging, food, transportation, parking, and essential travel expenses—helping patients reach clinics and enabling family members to stay near their hospitalized loved ones. Families submit requests ranging from $250 to $4,000, which are need-based and thoroughly vetted.
​
Over 90% of HBF’s financial assistance supports HF patients with an annual income below $50,000, and approximately half of this community is Black or Latin

The need for support remains ever-increasing—an endless ocean of families grappling with fear of loss and an encroaching monetary stranglehold. Life with HF is all-consuming for everyone involved and we are dedicated to easing this burden.
We invite you to help ease the burden by joining
the HeartBrothers Foundation Hearts of Gold Club.
